17 Resolutions for 2017
Journalismfund.eu

2016 is FINALLY over! I think we can all agree that it was a pretty rough year across the board. But as Queen Elsa so boldly reminded us, "the past is in the past". Here's to hoping '17 will be the year to make up for the craziness of '16. So as I have done every year since I can remember, I have compiled a list of New Year's resolutions that I would like to share with all of you. Some of them may be a bit far fetched, such as "study every day", but I think the rest of them are quite attainable. Join me friends, and let's make 2017 a year our posterity will be proud to read about in their history books.

1. Exercise every day

Walking from my bedroom to my kitchen counts as exercise, right?

2. Eat healthier

All the chips I eat from now on will be baked (they're healthier that way).

3. Watch more cute puppy videos

Well this one's just a given. Who doesn't love cute puppy videos?

4. Study every day

Like I said before, I don't know about this one. But I will attempt it. Just kidding, this one is just too much.

5. Don't procrastinate on assignments

I might keep this resolution... I'll decide tomorrow.

6. Don't let the existential dread set in

DON'T LET IT SET IN.

7. Share less Inner Kermit memes

*Me*: Stop sharing so many Kermit memes. You're annoying every one.

*Inner Me*: Keep doing it, they secretly relish in them.

8. Try to get over Harambe

It's been a little over seven months now, but I still shudder every time I think about the poor creature. RIP big guy.

9. Spend less time on social media

Nahhhh, Snapchat is too crucial to give up. And Facebook is how I stay connected with the world since all I really do is stay in my room. *cue "Indoors" from Spongebob Squarepants*

10. Read a new book every month

This may be one of the easiest ones to achieve. Or it would be if I didn't have to balance school, work, theatre, a social life, and my much needed Netflix time.

11. Forget that Hillary v Trump actually happened

That drama was just too extra. The world doesn't need that kind of stress and conflict ever again.

12. Singlehandedly save the Great Barrier Reef

It can happen!

13. Start a support group for penguins who've been cheated on

Because every living creature deserves love.

14. Try to overcome your desperate nostalgia for simpler times

What can I say? I'm a millennial. We crave the late '90s/early '00s.

15. Never let your bank account drop below $100

Yeaaaaah, this one might be a stretch too.

16. Try not to skip any classes

Hahahahahahahaha.

17. Finally, achieve world peace

PLEASE CAN THERE JUST BE SOME PEACE FOR ONCE?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
